Why do I have a feeling this is a Disney DVD? I've seen this happen
with some of them. I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems like
they've figured out some way to make it appear as if two copies of the
movie are on the DVD. I have yet to figure out how to get around it
other than just copying the movie and not backing up the entire disc.
